the starter pack

I hate cars and their stupid breaking parts.  Aside from the fact that they kill people and animals and contribute to environmental destruction, they're a pain in the ass to fix and, until you do, they're a ton of heavy metal to be dealt with.

Despite this despising, I had to get the car working for my upcoming CA trip so I bought a starter.  I was going to wait for two weeks until NAPA had a sale on their parts but I started to get nervous that it might not work so I went to the NAPA store for the first time and bought the part today.  It cost as much as a typical years' worth of work for my bike but whatever, it's done.  I'm pretty sure that I'm going to sell the beast as soon as I get back from CA.
